SSID Widget

Siriuth

About this app

This is a widget that displays the SSID on the Home screen.
(The old version is "Disp SSID Widget".)

Already or perched display of widgets that are displayed when an update, please try the following: If you have an error.
-Please re-set after turning off the widget from the screen.
-Please try to install again by performing the uninstall.

[Why do you need location information?]
Although it has nothing to do with the mechanism of Wifi, Android 6.0 (M) or later requires location information authority to handle SSID.
On Android 10 (Q) and above, you need to turn on location in addition to the detailed location permissions that are always available.

[How to use]
Please add a widget to the home screen.
After Oreo, you need to grant the appropriate permissions.

Please use WidgetSettings If you want to change the color.

Ratings and reviews

My phone periodically latches onto an unexpected network or worse yet sometimes doesn't attach at all and after a few hours I'd realize I was using data, even in my own house. This app works well to help me detect that. I placed the widget in the middle of my home screen so that I could tell at a glimpse what I'm connected to. Although it's fine as is, it would be nice to be able to change the appearance a little.

Does not work when location services are disabled. I don't think that's the developer's fault, as it is just one of Google's coercive strategies to force everybody to support their location services. Introduced with Android 6 it was first designated a "bug", to be fixed soon, but here we are Android 10 and it's still there. NO WiFi related app will work anymore without location services enabled. It also perfectly matches surveillance, tracing and tracking purposes. We need to push back on this!

Works well on Samsung S7! A wish though: Please let the widget itself show just a green check mark when connected, otherwise a red cross. Put the SSID as text below the icon. That would result in max score from me😊 Update! The widget doesn't update properly when SSID changes. Maybe worth a look, dear developer? ;)
